Tli© following is a little word picture in the London Daily Chronicle: —“Presently the searchlight of all eyes %vas vigilant upon a Avoiman who came clothed in majesty. Queen Mary bewitched one’s vision. Her figure was gowned wondrously in creamy silk, upon winch there climbed up trailing flowers, and like little glowworms there sparkled among them emeralds and sapphires and rubies. At her breast and throat there were rippling waves of diamondlight. But brighter than her jewels were her eyes, which burnt with a strange intensity in Her Majesty’s pale face. All her soul was in her eyes, and upon her features the beauty of spiritual emotion. She walked in grace away from her long-far-flung mantle, which flowed and flowed red and gold' behind her, upheld by six white ladies, like lilies in the fair fields of life. Close to her came also the four beautiful Ducnesses of Montrose—roses of England and Scotland—in the full flower of their June. As Queen Mary passed a strange shrill shout, startling and clamorous, shattered the quietude. ‘Vivat! Vivat! Vivat Regina Maria.’ High up in the Galleries the Westminster boys acclaimed the Queen!”
